    Rapamycin upregulates glutamate transporter and IL-6 expression in astrocytes in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease

    Rapamycin protects mice against 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced loss of dopaminergic neurons, which is an established model for Parkinson’s disease. We demonstrated that rapamycin p...

    Suppression of interleukin 17 contributes to the immunomodulatory effects of adipose-derived stem cells in a murine model of systemic lupus erythematosus

    Due to roles in immunoregulation and low immunogenicity, mesenchymal stem cells have been suggested to be potent regulators of the immune response and may represent promising treatments for autoimmune disease....
